Lynne-Marie Paquette, Owner and Manager

Lynne-Marie’s lifelong dream has been to own and operate a facility to care for dogs. She brings strong passion and expertise in the pet industry coupled with keen business acumen. Buddy’s Dog Den is named for her beagle, Buddy, as a place where dogs are welcomed into their second home and loved and cared for like her own.

Lynne-Marie has served as a dog walker, caretaker, and fosterer at various shelters and rescues in the New York area and has worked to ease the suffering of stray animals in South East Asia. Lynne-Marie has owned pets her whole life and published her first article in Dog Fancy magazine at the age of 12.

Lynne-Marie has a successful track record in the business world with over a decade of experience working in finance and consulting at IBM and Credit Suisse. She currently sits on the advisory board for INDROS Group, a Williamsburg-based interactive marketing firm. Lynne-Marie holds an MBA from MIT-Sloan with a focus on Social Entrepreneurship and Finance and a BA in Economics from Rutgers University.
